HIServices.AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions raises with 8.1/8.4 working with 7.1

[barak10]

Recently we have upgraded to pyobjc 8.1
Code that is working on 7.1 have started to raise:

import HIServices
from ApplicationServices import kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt
HIServices.AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions({kAXTrustedCheckOptionPrompt: True})

In 7.1 is pops up the accessibility dialog as expected, but with 8.1/8.4 is raises with:
objc.internal_error: PyObjC: internal error in PyObjCFFI_ParseArguments at Modules/objc/libffi_support.m:3238: assertion failed: argbuf_cur <= argbuf_len

Thanks. This is a bug in the bindings for this API.

A quick workaround:

• Look for AXIsProcessTrustedWithOption in HIServers/_metadata.py, it should look like this:

  "AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions": (b"Zo^{__CFDictionary=}",),

• Remove the "o" just before "^". The new version then looks like:

  "AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions": (b"Z^{__CFDictionary=}",),

With this you code no longer raises.

There will be a bugfix release later this week that will include this fix as well. This issue will stay open a little longer because the exception itself is wrong as well and that needs further investigation.

Thanks so much for your quick response!
Apparently that's what I have:
"AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions": ( b"Z^{__CFDictionary=}", "", {"arguments": {0: {"type_modifier": "o"}}}, ),

To clarify, that is what I have with 8.1 and it does raises

I should have looked more carefully: remove"type_modifier": "o" from this line, that should fix this issue for now.
